this treatment works very well for me if I take it on time the way I should. I like it because if my blood sugar is high and I take it, it brings it down very quickly.

The Flexpen involves some fiddling around befoe and after use. You have to attach a needle before use and you can't carry the Flexpen with needle attached. The air shot might be wasting some insulin that you are paying for, and there is a dribble of insulin on withdrawing the needle. Makes me wonder did I get the whole dose or is some of it dribbling away. You can't go out to dinner and inject you...

All insulins need to be adjusted to your own body time and condition keep in touch with your dr and adjust till you find what dose works for you. The pens are painless.

Though my doctor told me to use 3 units if my blood sugar was over 80, it works TOO well. Just this morning when my blood sugar was over 200, it quickly lowered it to 41 and I nearly fainted. Pretty scary, and this is not the first time it's happened. I plan to be in touch with my dr's office to possibly adjust the dose
